Meditation

It’s not news that there are an incredible number of benefits to meditation, as evidenced by yoga’s constant presence in the media and scientific journals. The most difficult part, sometimes, is just to find the type of meditation that agrees with your lifestyle and beliefs. We are very fortunate that the type of meditation offered here, Mantra Yoga Meditation, was designed for everyone. It doesn’t matter what your religion is, because MYM is a technique and not a religion– it’s a mental exercise. Just as people fortify and strengthen parts of their body with physical activity, your mind becomes clearer and stronger through MYM.

MYM is a simple but profound discipline that originated in India thousands of years ago. It promotes the union of mind, body, and spirit– a union that is indispensable if we want to achieve health, balance, peace, harmony, and wisdom. It’s an easy technique available even for children as young as 6 years old, with proven results for those who practice regularly. This type of meditation is practiced with the mental repetition of an individual word (or “mantra”), provided by an instructor, which produces a sense of relaxation and thoughtlessness.

Philosophers from the East and the West agree that meditation is vital to alleviate nervous tensions, worries, and stress. Meditation amplifies harmony and love, and encourages better sleep, memory, and concentration– concepts that are all fundamental for individual peace… and individual peace is, of course, the first step in achieving world peace: our main goal.
